This particular plan has been split into two sections-emergency Information & IT. This plan lays out the guidelines and procedures for: Public notification of an emergency or disaster Activation & deactivation procedures Guidelines for use of communication tools and equipment Ensuring a reliable system for back-up communications for responders Guidelines for a general inquiry line Anne Danielson Emergency Management Coordinator City of Lloydminster 5

8 Part 2 Public Information & Notification 2(1) Overview of Public Information & Notification Pre-Emergency: Objective: Develop public awareness and notification system that functions to support public response and organization during a disaster and alleviates non-emergency pressure on emergency response services and 911 phone lines. Strategy: Using the City s Emergency Alert system, the public will be encouraged to sign up for disaster alerts. The alert system will only be used for immediate or occurring disaster notifications or for those incidents in which a public notification may help to significantly protect lives and property. The system will serve to supplement the Provincial Alberta Emergency Alert System by being able to directly notify registered users via text, phone and . Monthly testing of the system shall be publicized and completed. Emergency: Objective: To notify public as expediently as possible of the emergency and protective actions to take. Notification procedures have been pre-determined for notifying the public (see Part 2(2)) Strategy: The Emergency Management Coordinator (EOC Director) or other authorized and designated City staff will issue a notification via the City s Emergency Alert system as well as the Alberta Emergency Alert System. Further to initial notifications, the Information Officer will ensure regular media updates are provided to local radio stations and available on the City s web site. In addition, a pre-designated general inquiry line may be staffed and the number made public in order to further supplement information provided by the media and to address unmet and/or non-emergency needs of residents. Press conferences shall also be arranged and used as a way for the Local Authority to issue updates to the public on the disaster. Recovery: Objective: To keep the public informed of available assistance and resources for personal and community recovery Strategy: General Inquiry lines will be available to the public as long as necessary based on number and range of calls. Recovery operations to address and meet the needs of the public will be publicized using existing local media partnerships 8
